Web accessibility

Brighton and Sussex Medical School web presence

We are currently working across our web presence to ensure that we comply with all of the Priority 1 (A)accessibility checkpoints as established by the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) web accessibility initiative (WAI).

Brighton and Sussex Medical School central website

Our central website contains many additional accessibility features and we are aiming to bring this site fully into line with Priority 2 (AA).

About the WAI

The WAI promotes usability and accessibility for people with disabilities. The W3C promotes good practice amongst the web community via initiatives like WAI Web Contact Accessibility Guidelines 2.0.

By improving both the accessibility and usability of our sites, we are seeking to meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 Part Four (as amended by Special Educational Needs Disability Act 2001).
